1. Housing Insecurity:
Over 60% of Bronx residents are rent-burdened—paying more of their income in rent than any other borough. Families are forced to choose between paying the landlord and putting real food on the table. Meanwhile, corporate landlords clog our courts with evictions.
2. Education Inequity:
NYC’s public school budget is nearly $40 billion, yet Bronx teachers still buy snacks and supplies out of pocket. That’s not equity—that’s abandonment. While other districts prepare students for high-paying jobs, ours are left scrambling for the opportunity to stock the shelves at the corner bodega. Without education equity, the Bronx can’t attract employers offering decent-paying jobs, perpetuating the cycle.
3. Healthcare Access:
We face a low provider-to-patient ratio in a community under relentless stress. Poor nutrition, housing instability, and unemployment don’t just lead to illness—they lead to despair.
Housing, education, and healthcare are deeply connected. In the Bronx, too many families face rent hikes, underfunded schools, and ERs as their only healthcare. We don’t need new ideas—we need to scale what works. Give tenants the right to buy their buildings, expand Community Land Trusts, and fund co-op ownership. Audit NYC’s $40B school budget so more reaches classrooms—not bureaucracy. Bring back arts, civics, and real college and career prep. Move care out of the ER and into schools and housing with nurses, counselors, and preventive programs. We need bold, local action—now.
I have bold goals, but I’m starting with the basics: safety, parking, and rent relief—concrete, quality-of-life improvements that can show tangible results in the first 100 days.
At the same time, I’ll launch feasibility studies for long-term solutions to our biggest challenges—housing, education, and healthcare—and begin laying the groundwork for faster action.
From there, I’m ready to introduce legislation to advance as many of these next steps as possible—for a stronger Bronx and a more just NYC.
During my first term, the most ambitious goal would be building coalitions and shaping legislation for the housing crisis in The Bronx. It all starts with the security of affordable rents and pathways to homeownership. That lays the groundwork for better education, healthcare, quality of life, community involvement, immigration solutions, affirmation and justice.
The most significant impediments to achieving this goal include the slow pace of legislation and coalition-building and the federal government. The federal administration has NYC in its crosshairs, and we cannot fall victim to assaults coming from DC.
